Dragon and knight Ji gl

After resting overnight, Leif and Natia Vida set out together to complete the mission the queen gave them.

Although she promised the queen that she would fight side by side with the female envoy—the shepherdess remembered that the queen said something like "come back together, and nothing will happen to you two"—but Leif felt from the bottom of her heart that the envoy The officer's presence is completely unnecessary.

The female envoy didn't wear armor or weapons, and she was wearing a white robe that didn't resist dirt at all.Not only that, but she also insisted on riding in a soft-backed carriage, pointing out the flowers and plants along the way, and was too eager to introduce several subspecies of white hyacinth in the Kingdom of Isaiah to Leif.

——I seem to have forgotten that this time I didn’t go out for an outing, but risked my life for an adventure.

"It's like this. I want to assure the queen that the lady knight will not take a branch for business." The female envoy clutched her heart that was beating wildly due to the bumps along the way, her face was pale, as if she was about to faint in the next moment. Looking at Leif with a stiff smile on his face, "So I have to accompany Miss Knight there."

Leif rolled her eyes in her heart. Fortunately, when she heard the female envoy said that she had the same purpose as her when she came to the Kingdom of Isaiah, she thought she was also a strong girl who longed for wealth and ribbons. Thinking of being weak and timid, lazy and lazy... so far.

But Leif was at least thankful that the female envoy didn't say anything to help her—it was better to watch from the sidelines with the master's order than to mess with her on the battlefield.In her previous life, she had seen enough teammates who could be called piglets, and she really didn't want to put this metaphor on the overly beautiful face of the female envoy.

The horse was frightened for some reason, and raised its hooves all of a sudden.The coachman who served the royal family yelled "Woo" several times, pulled the reins tightly, and raised the whip several times to calm the horse down.

The female envoy in the white robe tilted her body, and because of the bumping of the carriage, she leaned against Leif's body.The latter was concentrating on observing the surrounding scenery, his arms suddenly softened, and he almost raised his hand and threw the female envoy out.

The shepherdess with brown hair and black eyes was indeed planning to do this, but the female envoy grabbed her arm and bit her lip, her amber eyes were covered with a layer of mist: "Oh, Miss Knight... ..."

At a certain moment, Leif felt that Natia Vida's gaze seemed to be accusing a heartbroken man who had always been in chaos and had given up.

It's so strange. When the female envoy first appeared, she was so cold and untouchable. She even thought that she was a hidden peerless expert. She really didn't expect... Leif now The only thought was to tell the envoy not to sit with her.The weather has started to warm up.

"After a while, please hide in the grass, don't try to assist me, and don't rob me..." Leif swallowed the word "head" and seemed to be a little injured when facing Natia Vida. He said, "I'm afraid of hurting you by mistake."

Only then did Natia Vida bend the corners of her mouth, finally satisfied, but she still didn't let go, and said to Leif: "That's right, Miss Knight. Although it's very close to Muir Woods, I also have the responsibility to assure the Queen, You don't get away with it."

The coachman dropped them off a mile from Muir Woods.

Although the weather was fine and there was no rain for several days, Muir Woods was still covered with a layer of fog, and it looked gray and white from a distance.This layer of fog looks dirty, reaching up to the sky, and it is hard to see where the boundary is.It makes people feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable.

Leif vowed to promise that she would return in a short time, but the life-threatening coachman quickly left the forest, which was notorious for cannibalism, saying that he was going to the town to buy wine to calm the panic.After making an appointment with Leif and the others for three quarters of an hour, they will return to this place to wait for them.

"It is said that there was once a knight who came to Muir Woods and died. Then another knight came to Muir Woods and died." Natia Vida said.

Leif pulled the knife out and held it with both hands.Getting closer and closer to the forest, the fog became heavier and heavier, Leif had to squint his eyes and look at the road.Hearing that the female envoy killed a knight with a single sentence, she finally couldn't help but said: "You really lack the ability to tell stories, so lack of details, you really can't scare me-speaking of it, and then?"

Natia Vida said: "Afterwards many knights came to Muir Woods and died."

"..." Leif frowned, "Why are the dead always knights?"

At this moment, she suddenly heard a voice that should not appear here in theory.

It was a morning in April, although it was not night, but in a place like Muir Woods, which is said to be a place where people often die.It shouldn't be this lively right now.

"Because..." Natia Vida held Lev's shoulders and looked in the direction Lev was looking at, "The group of people who are called knights seem to have a high self-esteem and like to seek death—— Of course, the lovely lady knight is naturally not included."

They were not far from Muir Woods, and at the edge of Muir Woods, another group of people had already gathered.

The knights straddled tall horses, wore iron-black cloaks, their chain mail shone with a leaden gray light, and their leather boots were well polished.From the color of the cloak, Leif could tell that the rank of these knights was not high, but the ribbons on their chests undoubtedly proved that they were apprentice knights recognized by the clergy.

These are selected by priests from their respective dioceses.The identities are different, some are the sons of nobles, and some are the children of common people.They attended the nearby Knight Academy.Unlike Leif, who cannot become an apprentice knight by ordinary means, these people have already obtained the knight ribbon before entering school.After short-term training in the Knight Academy and completing tasks of appropriate difficulty, one can be promoted to a full-time knight.

When they entered school, the impassioned words spoken to them by the teaching priests—the meaning seemed to be that the safety of the entire continent depended on them—naturally made these young hearts swell.These trainee knights from all corners of the country, after coming to the Kingdom of Isaiah, soon heard the story of the legendary man-eating Muir Woods and the magical branch of the prophet.Then, like so many reckless young men throughout the ages, they made an appointment to venture into Muir Woods.

The Prophet Tree in Muir Forest is naturally not included in their tasks.But they fancied that if they were the heroes of Muir Woods, they would receive wreaths from many girls.

Unexpectedly, before they started to explore, two handsome girls came over.

There were a few whistles among the apprentice knights who had just received their ribbons and hadn't read the knight's creed a few times.

One of the knights with a hooked nose and gray eyes smiled and said, "Hey, look who is here. Two beautiful girls, are you here to entertain us? This place is dangerous. If you are scared and cry Now, when the time comes, the brothers will give you a good hug, and then kiss your frightened little face."

Another apprentice knight beside him said, "Yaron, but the creed says..."

Yalong stared at a pair of cloudy gray eyes, and said "tsk": "It must be a noble lady to be worthy of respect, and it's not just any woman who comes here, it's worth our knees."

The shorter girl didn't make a sound, and took a few steps forward, getting close enough for the other party to see the machete in her hand clearly.Then deflect the blade.Reflecting sunlight through the mist, a blade flashed into the eyes of the outspoken knight, who covered his eyes with his hands.

"I'm here to fetch the prophet's branch." The shepherd girl raised her head with the machete in her hand, "If I accidentally hurt you later, I won't kiss your little face when you cry—so, you should Okay, stay away."

The trainee knights were stunned for a while, and then burst out laughing with a "boom".He said to another girl in white who was not holding a machete and seemed to be normal: "Miss, what's the matter with your female companion? Crazy people should be locked up at home, not put outside to embarrass themselves. And if I'm not mistaken, she is holding a real knife, what if she stabs herself with a knife?"

"If you ask me, you are quite abnormal," Yaron said, looking at Natia Vida's bumpy body wantonly, "A serious girl shouldn't come here."

The female envoy didn't seem to hear it, her eyes searched the ground, but she still couldn't find even a bush where she could hide.She frowned her pretty brows, seeming to be in some distress.

Leif heard it very clearly, she was holding the knife, and she wanted to knock the man unconscious with the handle of the knife before speaking.But suddenly she heard cluttered footsteps coming from the woods—the sound was getting closer.

Natia Vida gave up looking for the grass, moved her ears, looked into the forest, and said quietly: "It seems that these people are more willing to court death than I imagined."

Yaron and the group of trainee knights all drew their swords, with excitement in their eyes.

The running and roaring of the monster shook the ground.Where the giant beast passed, the trees along the way were either uprooted or cut off by the waist.

When he saw this moss-green monster, Leif finally understood why all the prophet trees all over the world were dead, and only the last one remained in Muir Woods.

If the monster was motionless, it would look like a hill.Because it is covered with stones, soil and plants.An extremely tall tree grew on top of it, with a golden branch on it—the last prophet tree, which grew on the top of the monster's head.

In front of the monster, a stout apprentice knight fled with his life, and shouted out of breath: "Help, help... call... help me..."

The knights outside the forest raised their swords neatly and formed a basic formation of knights, waiting to be lured out of the forest by live targets.They seem to think that with a practice sword in their hands and some theoretical combat theory, they can knock down this monster.

Leff adjusted his breathing, calmed down, and wanted to find a flaw to join the battlefield.

But the living target knight with blood on his face suddenly shouted at her: "Leif—it's you! Why are you...here...leave...here..."

As everyone knows, because of his move.The enraged monster suddenly changed its angle, roared, and rushed towards the unprepared shepherd girl.
